an oasis of light – v5

a pool waiting

a bright future

in a sea of darkness

a pearl in the oyster

water in the desert

an oasis of light

how to see the Kingdom

part of heaven

here on the earth

a future unfolding

if we will follow

if we will follow the Christ

when love fills the vacuum

giving us life, eternal,

new birth in the Kingdom

heaven on earth

freed from our prison

carrying our own cross.
